Anyone's spouse so supportive that it makes you insecure?
Hello, When I opened my MFP account quite a while ago, I had a partner who was very overweight, like I was at the time. Unfortunately, circumstances happenned and he and I found out we were a very poor match. After a few months of being single I met the love of my life, and about a year later married him. He is incredibly…
Intentional sabotage?
My husband and I got in a huge fight today. As I'm learning to eat, and my metabolism is regulating, I'm trying to heed my body about when I am hungry and when I'm not. Tonight I'd eaten my alotted calories and wasn't hungry for dinner. My husband pressed and tempted me and finally went out and bought my favorite junk…
Mission somewhat accomplished
Yes! My husband finally went to the gym with me this morning! YYYYAAAAAYYYYY! I did my weight training while he did some cardio and weights. I am so proud of him! He also ate 100% clean today...something he's never done before! Today is the first day in a long time that I've seen him so motivated and I couldn't be happier.…
Very overweight spouse
I am on a weight loss journey and unfortunately my husband is not. He weighs 600 lbs. and could care less. He still is able to go to work but he just sits at a desk all day.

Introduce Yourself!
Introduce yourself! I made this group because i couldn't find any other support groups on MFP. Losing weight and lifestyle changes are hard but they are infinitely harder if you live with someone who is dealing with the exact same issues and may or may not have decided themselves to go on this lifestyle change journey.…
Double Burden, double rainbow?
Okay so earlier a member mentioned that sometimes having two people in the house, equally dissatisfied with their weight can be a double burden because you are focusing on your own journey but also pulling for the other person. Let's start a discussion about ways of thinking, phrases that will help us think healthily about…
Geez! Really?! - venting
I so seriously wanted to strangle my husband last night! :mad: We woke up early and planned on having breakfast at a new place yesterday. In the process of getting ready, I mentioned to him that, since he had a couple of take-home tests to complete, I was going to go on a hike after doing the grocery shopping I needed to…
Meal Time
Okay, So how do you all navigate meals when you also have a spouse/partner that has similar issues? I used to make two meals, but now I refuse. He either eats what I do or he can snack on something else. The most frustrating thing about that though is that because he likes different snacks, he brings junk into our house.…
